Israeli Forensics Company Cellebrite is Helping the FBI Unlock Shooter’s iPhone

Israeli mobile forensics company Cellebrite is the ‘third party’ helping the FBI unlock the iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino shooters, reports the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper via Reuters.Just hours before the Justice Department was set to face off against Apple in court, they requested the hearing be postponed after a third party demonstrated a method that could be used to unlock the iPhone.If Cellebrite succeeds, then the FBI would no longer need Apple’s help, possibly putting an end to the battle over encryption and backdoors into the iPhone, at least for now.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here
